Agenda Item Text:
Approve an inspection fee waiver request in the amount of $20 per lot, up to $5,000 total, submitted by the City of Douglas for the Bay Acres septic abandonment inspections.
Background:
The City of Douglas has requested that Cochise County conduct the septic abandonment inspections for Bay Acres as the city is not authorized by ADEQ to complete the inspections. The 250-lot Bay Acres subdivision will be connected to the sewer system and annexed into the City of Douglas. A USDA grant was secured to complete the sewer project.
A county proposal to complete the inspections for Bay Acres was sent to the City of Douglas outlining the septic abandonment inspection process and fees to be applied per lot. The proposed cost is $50 per lot with no residential review fee ($15) or rural addressing fee($15) being applied. The $50 per lot is the minimum trade permit fee in the Planning & Zoning fee schedule. The total cost for the 250 lots is $12,500.
The city of Douglas has requested a inspection fee waiver of $20 per lot for a total of $5,000. The USDA engineer stated a cost of $30 per lot based on his calculations. The total cost for the 250 lots is $7,500. The inspection fee waiver request is based on $12,500 - $7,500 = $5,000.

Department's Next Steps (if approved):
Notify the City of Douglas of the BOS action regarding this request.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
Cochise County would charge the City of Douglas the minimum $50 trade permit per lot for the septic abandonment inspections in Bay Acres for a total cost of $12,500 versus $7,500 with a reduced permit fee per lot.
